Artist Statement


A parade has broken into town and with it came a bunch of surreal creatures and characters. Swim your way around the world and collect all the gold shells before anyone else does!!!

Dream Parade is a 2D platform game developed by animator & game designer Andre Zambrana. In the game you play as a flying fish that leaves their comfortable underwater cave to swim around a parade of all kinds of creatures going around town. The game's art is all painstakingly drawn and animated by hand, inspired by the surrealist nature of dreams. The grappling hook-esque mechanic is inspired by real life flying fish's ability to burst out of water and glide for long distances.
